Hey guys, this is just a reminder;
There has been a lot happening in the community recently, from the huge milestone of 1000 main adopts, to the halloween events and legendaries, the past month has been exciting, even a little busy for all of us.
But in busy times like these, and even in laid back times when not much is happening, please remember that we are a community, and communities can only survive is when everyone is kind and respectful to one another. Instead of some hate that's been floating around, maybe take a few moments to think about some users you've met here in the community and thank them for what they bring to the group. Can't think of anything nice to say, or can't stand certain users? That's fine, keep it to yourself! Don't start rumors about them or talk behind their back, you wouldn't like anyone doing that to you would you? Let's build off one another and make this a better place for all, let's make everyone feel welcome in this community.
In addition to this, if you suspect, or even have proof, that a user is bullying or bothering someone else, or are experiencing it yourself, please speak to one of the staff members about it. I can't speak for all the staff members, but I know for certain that most of us staff will do what we can to correct the situation, or at the very least talk you through the it. We don't bite! (at least not that I know of as of yet)
Also, this is a very talented community, from writing, to art, and even character development/ideas! But remember that theft of any kind, be it design, character, story, art, exc. is not tolerated and can result in a strike, or even a ban in time. There is a very good viscet reference thread floating around (don't ask me where it is though i have no idea tbh) for all those looking for help in anatomy if you need it, but just because they are there for reference doesn't mean it's ok to trace it. Use the paw shape, the rough pose, the smile, the tail swoosh, but the whole reference is considered theft. Please keep this in mind. :>
Spread the love, and have a great morning/day/night!
